Strain differences in cuprizone induced demyelination [PDF]
Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a severe neurological disorder, characterized by demyelination of the central nervous system (CNS), and with a prevalence of greater than 2 million people worldwide.

Cuprizone Intoxication Results in Myelin Vacuole Formation [PDF]
Myelin damage is a histopathological hallmark of multiple sclerosis lesions. Results of post mortem studies suggest that impaired myelin-axon interaction characterized by focal myelin detachments is an early event during lesion genesis. In this study, we

Development and validation of a novel HILIC method for the quantification of low-levels of cuprizone in cuprizone-containing chow [PDF]
Cuprizone is an amide compound that has been wildly used in various animal studies, such as in the investigation of remyelination in mouse model. It is important to control the amount of cuprizone dosed in animals to be consistent as different amounts ...

A New Model of Cuprizone-Mediated Demyelination/Remyelination
In the central nervous system, demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, result in devastating long-term neurologic damage, in part because of the lack of effective remyelination in the adult human brain.

Depletion of Microglia Increases Cortical Oligodendrocyte Density During Remyelination. [PDF]
Cuprizone demyelination induces transient reactive states in deep cortical microglia (MG) through early recovery. Depleting MG in recovery increases the number of deep cortical mature/pre‐myelinating oligodendrocytes. Deep cortical reactive MG reduce oligodendrocyte density after demyelination.

The Cuprizone mouse model is widely used in studies on de- and remyelination. In the hands of different experimenters, the Cuprizone concentrations that lead to comparable levels of demyelination differ considerably. The reasons for this variability are unknown.

Cuprizone feeding induces swollen astrocyte endfeet
AbstractThe cuprizone model is a widely used model to study the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Due to the selective loss of mature oligodendrocytes and myelin, it is mainly being used to study demyelination and the mechanisms of remyelination, as well as the efficiency of compounds or therapeutics aiming at remyelination.

Sex Differences in the Behavioural Aspects of the Cuprizone-Induced Demyelination Model in Mice
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterised by demyelination in the central nervous system. The cuprizone-induced demyelination model is often used in mice to test novel treatments for multiple sclerosis.

Imaging Cuprizone-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction [PDF]
AbstractCuprizone is a copper chelator that induces mitochondrial dysfunction in myelin-producing oligodendrocytes and hepatic cells. Inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation has been proposed as a potential mechanism, but the exact relationship between shape changes and metabolic alterations is not well-understood.

Protective effects of erythropoietin against cuprizone-induced oxidative stress and demyelination in the mouse corpus callosum [PDF]
Objective(s): Increasing evidence in both experimental and clinical studies suggests that oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.
